Recommendations for Filling out your Assignment Preference Form (again)
As before, give as much information as possible to ensure your best fit. While this definitely seems like a step in the right direction, past experience has made us cautious to take anything at face value. Many of us are questioning every little detail of every communication.
Why are you only doing this now? Oh, maybe you’ve learned that your tools don’t work, and you’re actually making an effort to do it right. What are you asking that? Did someone mention that, or do you have an ulterior motive? Why have you waited so long to figure this out? Secondary? Zero Hour in my discipline, or at someone else's whim? Are there open positions?
Use this opportunity to be clear in your preferences and if something seems ambiguous, ask the question. This can only help refine the process and keep communication channels open.
